Let's talk cars

[TheBoondocks]

Hey guys, I know this isn't a car forum or anything like that and I know most of us specialize in credit cards lol but anyway, I want to talk about cars cause that's what we use in our daily lives unless if you're working from home and use public transportation lol but anyway so I know a lot of you guys have gas credit cards or whatnot.

Personally for me when it comes to gas, I use Chevron, Mobil and if I can't find those 2 then I go to Shell. Only those 3, nothing else. But anyway, do you guys use any addictives? Not talking about the white powder lol... Talking about as far as gas.

I heard techron is the king when it comes to fuel cleaner, but when you use chevron a lot, really no need to buy it unless you use those cheap or no brand gas, I want to know if anybody have use a fuel stabilizer like startron before? Thanks!

I don't add anything to my car. I've found no need or benefit to using them. Almost all name brand gas are top tier so they already have more detergent that what the government requires.

I work from home, use public transportation, and own a car, so I do drive though not frequently. Usually a weekend road trip or some errands out in the burbs. Rest of the time it's parked on a street somewhere, collecting dirt and bird crap.

I put 93 octane gas in my car since that's the manufacturer recommendation, but beyond that I don't care what brand. I don't use additives or really even do anything other than scheduled maintenance and it runs ok. My car isn't nearly valuable or high performance enough to care about that sort of TLC. I can't even be bothered to wash it except once or twice a year, and that's usually when the dealership does it for me with the scheduled maintenance.

I don’t add anything—I suppose I should say that I don’t have THE MECHANIC add anything lol. As for gas, I’m not loyal to any one brand/station but I use only premium. Oil change every 3k, constantly cleaning/washing it, aaaaand I don’t know what else to add.... 

[TheBoondocks]

Hey iced, even tho you put a higher premium gas fuel to your car, unless you car is really brand new, it wouldn't help. I would stick to the what it says on the cap or on the owners manual for the recommendation, but yeah at the same time you're blowing more money than what is needed lol.

I don't really be cleaning my car either lol I just do the regular maintenance too but I just bought this software where it would help me with my car running better so I will look into it more. Lol, the dealership gave you a1 service aha.

[TheBoondocks]

Hahah pinkandgrey, lol. I'm loyal to brands, even with the hotels, I'm loyal to them but as far as airlines, not really maybe cause I don't fly them too often lol I like it, keeping it simple!

Unless it's recommended or required, your wasting money putting 93 octane.

That's where I got it from. BMW's are known to suffer a bit with lower octane gas, and it doesn't help that the US already sells significantly lower octane fuel than Europe does.
